Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Local Municipality elections

The Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Local Municipality council (formerly the Bizana Local Municipality)[1] consists of sixty-four members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-two councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-two wards, while the remaining thirty-two are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of forty-eight seats.
